Losing your mind with Chris Cosentino

Don't hose me baby!!!!!

Over the last 30 years, Myriad has opened and operated over 39 restaurants around the world, including Seattle, Louisville, Providence, Boca Raton, London, San Francisco, Moscow, Citi Field, home of the New York Mets in Flushing, New York.Nieporent's first restaurant, the groundbreaking Montrachet (1985), earned three stars from The New York Times and kept that rating for 21 years. In 2008, the restaurant reopened as Corton, maintaining its three New York Times stars and receiving two Michelin stars with chef-partner Paul Liebrandt at the helm. In May of 2014, Nieporent reopened the space as Bâtard with the help of chef- partner Markus Glocker and partner John Winterman. Earning three stars from The New York Times, New York Magazine, and a coveted Michelin star, the restaurant opened to critical acclaim. As 2014 came to an end, Bâtard landed at the top of several end-of-year lists, including the number one spot on The New York Times' list of "The 10 Best New Restaurants of 2014".

Nobu has gone on to open restaurants in all parts of the world.Also in 1994, Nieporent was one of the few American restaurateurs to go bi-coastal. In collaboration with Robert De Niro, Robin Williams, and Francis Ford Coppola, he opened Rubicon in San Francisco.Myriad's excellence in wine service is widely acknowledged. It is the only restaurant group to earn three coveted Grand Awards from Wine Spectator Magazine - for Rubicon, Montrachet, and Tribeca Grill. In 2005, Myriad opened Crush Wine & Spirits, which was named the best new wine shop by Food & Wine Magazine.Nieporent graduated in 1973 from Stuyvesant High School and in 1977 from Cornell University with a degree from the School of Hotel Management. While at Cornell, he worked on the world class cruise ships Vistafjord and Sagafjord. In 1978, he began his management career with Warner Le Roy at New York City's Maxwell's Plum and Tavern On The Green.

Become a Paid subscriber of the Adam Farris Podcast https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/adam-farris/subscribe Hi, My name is Adam Farris and I have Tourette Syndrome, But Tourette Syndrome does NOT have me. I was diagnosed with #TouretteSyndrome at the age of 6, And I am 35 years old now. In my teenage years, my #Tourette was out of control. I had loud hooting and shouting noises. When I asked my parents if I could go out to public places like movie theaters and restaurants, they said yes. Whenever someone asked me about the noises or made a rude comment, I would just explain to them that this is who I am and this is what I have. If they would like to go somewhere else, then they can, but I am staying here and enjoying myself. Tourette Syndrome has affected me in many ways. One of my former doctors put me on a lot of high-dose anti-psychotic medications for a long time, which then made me like a zombie pretty much throughout the day. I was sleeping too much and was not able to concentrate because of the medications I was on.  Eventually, this made my hands shake really badly.  We switched doctors and my doctor now is really great! I also work at a retail store here in Houston, Texas as a cashier. Sometimes you may see me struggling at work. I may ask someone to help me out with bagging or help me bag the breakable items.  Please respect my request as this can be hard for me to accomplish due to my shakiness in my hands.  Having tics is a little bit like having hiccups. Even though you might not want to hiccup, your body does it anyway. Sometimes people can stop themselves from doing a certain tic for a while, but it's hard. Eventually, the person has to do the tic. I have Tourette Syndrome, but Tourette Syndrome does not have me. ” – Adam Farris FYI You Are Not Alone if you are an individual with Tourette syndrome, there are support groups and other similar groups that you can join. do not feel left out, and don't allow anyone to keep you isolated. please get out into the public, and go to restaurants and if someone makes a comment or a grimace just let them know that I have Tourette's and this is what is called, and that you cannot help it. According to the CDC, https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/tourette/facts.html Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a condition of the nervous system. TS causes people to have “tics”. Tics are sudden twitches, movements, or sounds that people do repeatedly. People who have tics cannot stop their body from doing these things. For example, a person might keep blinking over and over. Or, a person might make a grunting sound unwillingly. Having tics is a little bit like having hiccups. Even though you might not want to hiccup, your body does it anyway. Sometimes people can stop themselves from doing a certain tic for a while, but it's hard. Eventually, the person has to do the tic. Ways to support and help out Tourette's and The TS Community: 1. Get Involved with the Tourette Syndrome Association of America https://tourette.org/get-involved/give-donate/  2.  take the Tourette Syndrome pledge, To stop using Tourette Syndrome as a punchline. https://tourettepledge.org/  3.

Getting a tic (a brief motor movement or vocalisation) is actually super common but the use of a certain social media platform is starting to create them faster and in larger numbers in groups not usually affected. Today we look at the impact of a platform like TikTok on vulnerable minds and how a certain genre within the platform's users leads to those who already suffer from tics to be triggered.

The Tourette community lost a hero Dec. 15, someone I named on the very first episode (Season 1, Episode 0) of Tourette's Podcast. Steve Bachner was my first frame of reference for TS. Seeing him on an episode of 20/20 in the late 1980s was my first time seeing someone else with the disorder, and there he was, Steve, being followed by John Stossel and cameras, in a shopping mall, Steve ticcing to the fullest. I remember being a little kid guffawing at people's reactions to Steve, with a least one citizen observer telling the show he assumed he was probably high on drugs. The observer wouldn't have guessed Steve was living with a disorder that throws involuntary sounds and movements. I knew all about it. I met Steve not long after at a national Tourette Association of America (then called the Tourette Syndrome Association) conference and confirmed his heroism to me. Steve was kind, funny, witty, and willing to be talk to me like a human being. I never forgot it. We reconnected after I started Tourette's Podcast in 2018 and always talked about doing an interview. Sadly, Steve's health was declining; scheduling would be hit or miss, with very wide latitude granted to all the rest and recuperation time he needed. But we eventually, in May 2020, found the chance to record. It wasn't our dream interview; it would have been but the phone line was noisy and made listening a challenge. But, after some audio cleanup, and now in Steve's memory, it's here and it covers a lot of amazing ground. This is old-school Tourette Syndrome, with critical cracks at sensational coverage from Stossel, Geraldo, Springer and others who orbited Steve's disorder. They got to know his Tourette (or maybe a thin dimension of it) but did they ever get to know him as a person? (His friend Robin Williams did; Steve describes him here as a "soulmate.") I'm so lucky to have counted him a hero and saddened at his absence now. So this one is dedicated to the loving memory of Steve Bachner.

Resources mentioned in this podcast: Tourette Association of America  - (Formerly known as the Tourette Syndrome Association) focuses on awareness, research, and support. https://tourette.org/ The book: The Fringe Hours by Jessica Turner Transcription Speaker: Welcome to the Just Ask Mom Podcast, where mothers share their experiences of raising children with mental illness. Just Ask Mom is a Mothers on the Frontline Production. Today we will speak to Emily, a mother of a son with Tourette's Syndrome, living in Iowa. Tammy: Well, I was wondering if you could just start by telling us a little about yourself? Emily: Sure, my name is Emily and I'm a wife and a mom of two kids. I have a daughter who's seven and I have a son who's nine, and my nine-year-old son has Tourette's syndrome. Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition that causes a variety of motor and vocal tics. So, in my son's case he has a coughing tic, blinks his eyes, will have shoulder raises and that kind of thing. So, we have just had the diagnosis for a couple of years, so we're sort of new to all of this but he is a joy in our family and we're just really learning how to best care and best parent him. Tammy: Awesome. So, before we get started I'm just going to ask you to step back for a moment and tell us a little bit about you either before mothering or outside of mothering, a little bit about you. Emily: Yeah, I have a lot of different interests. My faith is a really important interest of mine, I just really enjoy being a part of a church and that's just a really important piece of who I am. I also really just love creating things so I love to sew, I love to bake, I love to make cards. They do have to have a finite ending to them. Tammy: (laughs) Emily: I'm not the scrap booker that can keep on going forever but I do love those short creative projects. I also love the Olympics and I'm a big Disney fan, it truly is my happy place. So, those are some of my passions and interests. Tammy: Wonderful, thank you for that. I want you to pretend that you're talking to other moms, what do you want them to know? Emily: I would say that the thing that I would want them to know is how community is so important when you're the parent of a child with Tourette's syndrome or any special need. That community is a place where you can get support and encouragement but it really just helps you be a super confident mom and to be the best mom that you can be to your child. So, I thought I'd share a few places that have helped me in building community. One of them is just within the family itself. I asked my son before I came here, “What's the one thing that I do as your mom that helps you as a person living with Tourette's Syndrome?” He said, “You just make it okay to have it.” A huge compliment from him, but just making sure that our family is a place that he feels safe and comfortable, that it's a place he knows he can let all of his tics out when he gets home from school, or he can talk to us about how his tics are making him feel. Building community within our family means spending a lot of time together and it's figuring out what that is. So, for us we love to play games together. We enjoy Disney together. (laughs). Traveling is a big bonding experience too.

Just Ask Mom is a Mothers on the Frontline Production. Today we will speak to Emily, a mother of a son with Tourette's Syndrome, living in Iowa. Tammy: Well, I was wondering if you could just start by telling us a little about yourself? Emily: Sure, my name is Emily and I'm a wife and a mom of two kids. I have a daughter who's seven and I have a son who's nine, and my nine-year-old son has Tourette's syndrome. Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition that causes a variety of motor and vocal tics. So, in my son's case he has a coughing tic, blinks his eyes, will have shoulder raises and that kind of thing. So, we have just had the diagnosis for a couple of years, so we're sort of new to all of this but he is a joy in our family and we're just really learning how to best care and best parent him. Tammy: Awesome. So, before we get started I'm just going to ask you to step back for a moment and tell us a little bit about you either before mothering or outside of mothering, a little bit about you. Emily: Yeah, I have a lot of different interests. My faith is a really important interest of mine, I just really enjoy being a part of a church and that's just a really important piece of who I am. I also really just love creating things so I love to sew, I love to bake, I love to make cards. They do have to have a finite ending to them. Tammy: (laughs) Emily: I'm not the scrap booker that can keep on going forever but I do love those short creative projects. I also love the Olympics and I'm a big Disney fan, it truly is my happy place. So, those are some of my passions and interests. Tammy: Wonderful, thank you for that. I want you to pretend that you're talking to other moms, what do you want them to know? Emily: I would say that the thing that I would want them to know is how community is so important when you're the parent of a child with Tourette's syndrome or any special need. That community is a place where you can get support and encouragement but it really just helps you be a super confident mom and to be the best mom that you can be to your child. So, I thought I'd share a few places that have helped me in building community. One of them is just within the family itself. I asked my son before I came here, “What's the one thing that I do as your mom that helps you as a person living with Tourette's Syndrome?” He said, “You just make it okay to have it.” A huge compliment from him, but just making sure that our family is a place that he feels safe and comfortable, that it's a place he knows he can let all of his tics out when he gets home from school, or he can talk to us about how his tics are making him feel. Building community within our family means spending a lot of time together and it's figuring out what that is. So, for us we love to play games together. We enjoy Disney together. (laughs). Traveling is a big bonding experience too.

Support of the histaminergic hypothesis in Tourette Syndrome: association of the histamine decarboxylase gene in a large sample of families

Background: Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is caused by the interaction of environment with a complex genetic background. The genetic etiology of the disorder remains, so far, elusive, although multiple promising leads have been recently reported. The recent implication of the histamine decarboxylase (HDC) gene, the key enzyme in histamine production, raises the intriguing hypothesis of a possible role of histaminergic dysfunction leading to TS onset. Methods: Following up on the finding of a nonsense mutation in a single family with TS, we investigated variation across the HDC gene for association with TS. As a result of a collaborative international effort, we studied a large sample of 520 nuclear families originating from seven European populations (Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, German, Albanian, Spanish) as well as a sample collected in Canada. Results and Conclusions: Interrogating 12 tagging SNPs (tSNP) across the HDC region, we find strong over-transmission of alleles at two SNPs (rs854150 and rs1894236) in the complete sample, as well as a statistically significant associated haplotypes. Analysis of individual populations also reveals signals of association in the Canadian, German and Italian samples. Our results provide strong support for the histaminergic hypothesis in TS etiology and point to a possible role of histamine pathways in neuronal development.

Symptoms begin in childhood and cause those affected to make movements and noises they cannot control. While not life-threatening, TS is nonetheless often painful, disruptive and isolating. Many children with TS also have associated conditions such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and/or learning disabilities. While it is believed to be genetic, the exact cause of the symptoms is still unknown. The Tourette Syndrome Association of Texas, one of the largest chapters in the country, is a 501 ( c )3 non-profit organization. We raise funds to directly assist Texas families and children in crisis, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
